This is an unsourced BLP with only a link to his MMA fighting record. The lack of significant coverage means he doesn't meet WP:GNG and only two top tier fights means he fails WP:NMMA. The unsourced claims of being a 3 time All-American, even if true, do not meet WP:NCOLLATH.Mdtemp (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

 *  Weak Delete Keep My search didn't find enough WP:SIGCOV to show he meets WP:GNG (the article is of no help with this), and he doesn't meet WP:NMMA or WP:NCOLLATH. He is in the University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame, but I that doesn't satisfy any notability criteria.  It does, however, support the claim of 3 time All-American since the top 8 in each weight class each year are awarded that honor and the site says he achieved that.

 * Everything I said above is still true. However, I added his ADCC record to the article and that, combined with his two UFC fights, is enough to show notability to me. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete Lacks significant coverage and fails to meet any notability standards. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 16:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - He is a member of the University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame. I'm not sure if that's prestiguous enough to pass the "member of Hall of Fame" catagory of WP:NCOLLATH, but it's worth a discussion. Also some significant media coverage when he was signed by the UFC and was named the 1995 Wrestler of the Year for his state by Wrestling USA Magazine. Also, according to his bio page, he competed in the ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships in 2003 and 2005. That combined with his two top-tier fights should be enough to meet WP:GNG if the article is improved a bit. Luchuslu (talk) 15:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Virtually every college has a sports hall of fame, that's not what WP:NCOLLATH is referring to--it means the HOF for that sport. I added sources independent of the subject (which his team's site is not) about his ADCC record.  I don't think he meets WP:GNG yet because the article still needs better sources, but I think his whole record is enough to meet WP:MANOTE.  It's not just that he competed at the ADCC, but that he won 3 bouts there. Papaursa (talk) 21:53, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * True, I initially misread WP:NCOLLATH. Added more sources for his wrestling and MMA careers. Luchuslu (talk) 02:41, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
